Fix:
Please could we at least have a shopt to maintain the old
behaviour?
Perhaps BASH_COMPAT=5.0 could be extended to handle this.
I think a shopt makes more sense. Forcing heredocs to be files although
something legit to request, is more a caller workaround to bugs in
called programs.
Shell options aren't intended to cater to broken programs; that's what the
compatibility mode is for.
It's not `legit to request'; the only thing guaranteed is that the user
will get a file descriptor they can read from.
